Good morning. Since yesterday, I've been working on a robe for a friend who's a Pastor. She came up with the design and of course I accomplished the execution.The fabric is black faux suede with bronze organza fabric detailed with embroidered circles. The pic really doesn't do it justice. I had to take it with my cell phone camera because I still cannot find my camera battery charger. :(Anyway, I have a few touches to add, like buttons and hooks, but it'll be complete this morning. I'll post a better pic later when I can find that charger. Uggggh!

I'm a excited and a little nervous. I've partnered with Nai to create three looks for a photo shoot based on Georgia's history. I've decided to go with three looks from Gone With the Wind, the black Mourning dress, the Red Velvet dress, and a White Ruffle dress.

The problem is...I have to have them ready by January 1st!

This promises to be an interesting ride. I'll get the fabrics tomorrow..stay tuned.

The excitement continues....On November 15th I had my first photo-shoot with a new photographer Nai and his friend John. We were located in Downtown Duluth in the square, which was just gorgeous. Just picture an old timey but modernized city hall and community buildings, encircling a in-ground water fountain much like the one at Centennial Park. That shoot was great, and fast.

Fast forward to today. I just completed a fitting for a new model Rachel who has an edgy look with fiery pink hair. I was taken back at first, but I can work with her cause....well she fit the clothes. lol

Here's the dilemma;The photo-shoot is Saturday and the weather report calls for freezing rain, possibly snow.

Just lovely. We'll probably end up somewhere in Kennesaw. Did I really sign up for this?

I'll let you all know how this one turns out and maybe I'll post a pic or two when we're done.

I'm new to this blogging thing and a little intimidated, but I just couldn't let the day go by without writing a little something about today's event.

Well, I listed a few of the new garments from my Vintage Inspired clothing line on my Etsy site.

With God's grace and good friends we got the photo shoot done about two weeks ago. It was my first photo shoot behind the camera, so don't hold the image quality against me. The models, however, did their thang. Thanks Kamaria and Aarica! And many thanks to my hair stylist/makeup artist, Melanie and to Julia for being Johnnie on the spot. Well the journey has begun so.....stay tuned, there's more to see.
